The 1953 and 1954 1/2 ton truck front brake drums are the same. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 219 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 219 | Guess the guy selling the drums got his year mixed up. The center of the drum at the lug area is raised.

Had you asked are the drums the same I would have told you drums were the same from '40-50 then changed and were the same from '51-59. Again, Hollander is my reference. Sounds like the seller has the earlier drums. | | |
